of the election. Each precinct election board shall, on blanks provided

and tabulation of votes by the precinct election board. The board shall
set forth in the return, opposite the name of each candidate and public
question, the number of votes cast for the candidate and for or against
each public question. The tabular statement must contain the following

(1) The name of the precinct.
(2) The name of the township (or ward).
(3) The name of the county.
(4) The name of the party of the candidates for Representative in
Congress.
